This seems to work and it uses my old friend 'noglob'. 'i' being my tell 
me absolutely everything hyper-whence:

But it's a nuisance:


|alias i='noglob _i'|||
|||function _i ()|||
|||{|||
||

|...
|

|# Because I need expanded arguments for the listing of the local files:||

-w $1||
||      file ${_args[i]} | grep --color=auto -w $1||
||    fi||
||done||
|

|...||
||# But from now on, 'whence -ma' receives the glob raw and behaves as

|local find_count=`whence -ma "$@" | wc -l`||
